My name is Anu. I don't mind the name because it gives me a chance to have cheesy opener when I meet people. "Hi I'm Anu, like a new car. Hi, I'm Anu like a new boyfriend." The latter has never worked... yet.

I was just there last week for carnaval. One thing that was pretty cool that I didn't really expect was taking a favela tour, you get to see a part of Rio that you wouldn't be able to by yourself and they give a good history of the people of Rio. Other than that the I would say beaches, Christ, sugar loaf, and Lapa at night are all fun things to do as well. Be safe and wear sunscreen!

I always found /r/GetMotivated and /r/progresspics helped me on days I felt like staying in from the gym. If you keep exercising and eating right long enough you will eventually feel weird when you miss a work out or have too many cheat meals. Getting fit can be difficult to get used to but when you do, it becomes a habit that you learn to respect and love.

In the office break room I refilled the coffee machine with just the filter so I ended up brewing hot water. Luckily no one else saw it and when I came back to the room I blended in with the mob saying "who was idiot that didn't replace the coffee!"
